Heroes...They're everywhere. They try their best to hide, but their actions give them away. And it's not the guy saving a woman from an armed bandit dressed in a black and white stripped shirt that makes a hero, no. (Granted that is a hero, but that's not what I'm talking about) It's the person who never fails to have kind, encouraging words, the shoulder to cry on when things are all wrong, the hand that leads you through the dark. This is the type of hero I'm talking about.
Everyone has a hero. You may not think so, but if you really think about it you do. They are the people who stand behind you, not in front blocking your way (unless it's during a food fight) They never complain about not being thanked, they support, love, cherish, honor, protect, listen, understand what you're going through and are always there to push you when you're so close to giveing up. More importantly, they remember how to forgive you when you forget to remind them of the fact they are so very important to you.
I have a hero. I married him. My husband is my hero and he does all of these things and more. When everyone else told me my dreams weren't possible, he said "Go for it, you can do it". When the world was giving me a hard time, he made me believe that I could overcome anything that got thrown at me. He has helped me throught the toughest things in my life, and his step has never faltered. Even the things that I couldn't face, he helped me open my eyes and see it through. He's the voice that whispers to me when I can't seem to find my way in the right direction. He is my personal cheering section, my confidant, and best friend...and my hero.
So today everyone I urge you to find your hero and thank them. I think too many times the everyday heroes get forgotten. They work so hard to be there for us, and how often do we really show them how much they mean to us? Not often enough sometimes.
And to MY hero....Thanks for always being there for me when I needed you most. You are the BEST! I LOVE YOU!!!!
Have a wonderful day everyone!
